The foundation of all happiness is

husband of an angel and the father of
half dozen cherubs, and yet be miser-

any ofthe disorders arising from imper-

Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets are
the safest and surest remedy for these
morbid conditions Being purely vege-

INTERSTATE COMMISSIONERS:
The Floods.

BISMARCK, March 22-The Missouri
fell about twelve inches last night, and
this morning stood at the high water
mark of 1881. The railroad managers
and passengers were congratulating
themselves on the. prospects for relief,
when the water began to rise again and
has risen about a foot since this morn
ing. The rise at this point over the
body of water six miles in width is mar
velous. When it Is considered that all
the gorges and total foods were sup
posed to have passed, it is almost
q miracle and no one seems able
to account for. the action of
the river, unless that, the warm weather
is liable to produce rise, The train
from the east was DELAYED twenty min
utes, this afternoon, by a rise in Apple
Creek, three miles east of this point.
If the water in the creek rises much
more. it will be impossible for trains to
come to Bismarck, as the water at that
point will put out the fires. There is no
longer any doubt of the drowning of the
Jackson family at Painted Woods. The
family consisted of father, mother and
two children.

monsy appropriated at the last session
of congress, to indemnify Chinese sub
the riots at Rock Springs, Wyo., in
September, 1885. The act provides that
the money, shall be paid to the Chinese

Where Their Merit Lies.

When anything stands test of fifty
years among a discriminating people
like the Americans it is pretty good
evidence that there is merit somewhere.
Such a test BRANDRETH's PILLS have
stood and thousands of unsolicited
testimonials every year prove their
merit. The Pills are purely vegetable
and are the result of the highest med
ical and chemical skill. They have
never been known to fail IN their work !;
they have never caused any one the
slightest Inconvenience, no matter when
taken, and there is little doubt that
they have really saved thousands OF
lives. The best evidence OF their value
hes in their increasing sale. BRANDRETH' s
Pulls have truly become household
necessity.
